MAKE IT PERSONAL
Making your pitch personal is a great way to help people understand the value of membership!
Consider sharing stories like Joyce’s — or even better: your own stories about what membership means to you.
“I wasn’t heading in the right direction,” says Joyce (A’08). “I needed to take a step back and reassess what kind of career I wanted.” That’s when a coworker pointed Joyce to the Purdue Alumni Association, where Joyce worked with Maureen, director of career services.

CLUBS & NETWORKS
After graduation, Toy Smith (HHS’98) got involved with the Purdue Alumni Association.
“The late Roger Blalock encouraged me to stay involved with the Purdue community because it was the right thing to do,” Smith says. “He was a model leader — a real trailblazer.”
